First of all, Hyperion was a titan, not a god. There is a difference. Hyperion was the titan of the heavens, the titan of light. By comparing Hyperion to his father, Hamlet was clearly communicating that he thought of his father as a benevolent and righteous king. Meanwhile, Hamlet compared his uncle Claudius to a satyr, who, as you stated, is half human and half goat. In Greek mythology, satyrs were known for being sexually promiscuous. All they cared about was women and wine. They were greedy. Hamlet is communicating that he thinks of his uncle as a greedy man who only cares about his sexual desires. The fact that a satyr is half human and half beast also tells us that Hamlet thinks of his uncle as a beastly, evil man.

In the Inferno, Dante uses ______________ to associate himself with classical writers and thinkers.
Kazeer [188]
I think it's A. Allusion. By using allusion, you refer to other people, places, or things. Terza Rima is a rhyming scheme, I believe. contrapasso is a belief that the punishment should fit the sin. Anaphora is the act of replacing a word in a sentence to avoid repetition. So I believe that A. Allusion would be the right choice :)

a0 is the punishment in Dante’s Hell which resembles or contrasts the sin in which the person created while on Earth.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Estige, the river of boiling blood, is the punishment in Dante's Inferno that resembles or contrasts the sin in which the person created while on Earth.

Explanation:

At the entrance to the fifth circle of hell is a waterfall of bubbling, boiling water and blood whose water was darker than purple. The water descends some beaches and forms a lake called Styx, where the accused are accosted with rage, who are together beating themselves and torturing themselves in an endless rage. At the bottom of the Styx are the spiteful ones who never showed their anger; they can not rise to the surface and stay in the mud at the bottom of the river, releasing the bubbles that are seen on the surface.
